I would not like to be carried away by post-mortem panegyrics, I want to be really honest. To me Dom Mintoff was just a self-centred politician whose main pawns were always confrontation, divisiveness, controls, fear and uncertainty. Perhaps some readers might think that I am being unfair with such a historic figure. But I am just referring to real facts and not to opinions.

However, what worries me is that the Labour Party is still dominated by people who believe and argue that these are the paths Malta should take in the future. What a dismal future that would be for us all!
